With Slang for me is that it was a style change but there were a lot of farmiliar sounding DL songs on it. I said this with the JSS solo album. If you are changing your vibe and don't want to lose old fans out of the gate open the album with a track that is close to what they know. This way you ease into the change and its not such a shock. Loved X right away and Slang has become one of my favs by them
